If you're very, very conservative and you like that sort of practice, go find a very conservative Zen master and just do traditional Japanese practice, which is not that traditional actually.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
There is deception. People who think they are enlightened and it's just ego.
Frederick Lenz
Your life is either getting brighter from moment to moment or it's not. If it's not getting brighter, it's because there's no risk. There's no risk in thinking instead of stopping your thought. There's a lot of risk in stopping your thought.
Frederick Lenz
I love people who make mistakes. That's why I'm in the teaching business. I love people who make mistakes because I enjoy watching them learn and helping them, assisting them. I find it a beautiful process.
Frederick Lenz
Combine meditation with career as a yoga. You will find that your practice will not be any less powerful than a person who lives in a monastery. You might even excel because practice in a monastery can get very one-sided.
Frederick Lenz
The psychic perception is a feeling as opposed to a thinking. Not a feeling that is engendered through emotion necessarily. It comes from the psychic plane of intuition, which is another stage of our mind.
Frederick Lenz
Care, but don't be pushy! Don't preach about enlightenment to people who don't really want to hear about it.
Frederick Lenz
Transmission does not have to take place physically. The student doesn't have to be sitting across from you. But it's easier if they are because the vibration of the teacher is strongest in the physical proximity of the teacher.
Frederick Lenz
Thought is the ultimate tonal. Each thought is like a dike that blocks out the nagual.
Frederick Lenz
The sights of infinity can be too strong. They can scorch the soul. It's best to take infinity on a little at a time.
Frederick Lenz
The world is filled with people who understand. I personally value people who don't understand. People who understand have nothing more to learn. People who don't understand have hope. Do you understand?
Frederick Lenz
As you sit in this light from week to week, you will transform and grow and develop. It washes away the samskaras, the past-life tendencies. It washes away the karmic tendencies from this life.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment is not a finite state. It's not something that you just do and it's done. It goes on forever.
Frederick Lenz
Tantra is not for a hedonist at all. It won't work. If you're heavily attracted to sensual experiences, tantra will definitely not be of any use to you.
Frederick Lenz
Think of your life as a field. The field is the field of action. What a mystic does is set up their life as a field of power.
Frederick Lenz
I like Miracles. They inspire me. Miracles are the fun of enlightenment. When a teacher does a miracle, and everyone sees it, they have faith in what the teacher has to say about self-discovery.
Frederick Lenz
Change can only exist in time. Without time there is no change. Change can only exist with a background of that which is changeless, otherwise it has no definition.
Frederick Lenz
Purity means lack of hatred, jealousy, fear, greed and lust - the absence of anything that can stain consciousness.
Frederick Lenz
Who's to say what's right or wrong? The courts and the society can be totally wrong. Nazi Germany, what did they say was the right thing to do? To destroy and burn Jews.
Frederick Lenz
When you meditate, you take charge of your life. You bring your conscious awareness to a new high point, where the vista is beyond any horizon.
Frederick Lenz
You could go through incarnations forever and never become enlightened, unless of course you do something about it.
Frederick Lenz
